<p>I am currently a sophomore in college with a 3.07 gpa and I will most likely raise it this semester to a 3.2 or something like that. I am looking to transfer to a bigger school where there is more school sprit and better sports program. Do any of you guys have any suggestions and can you give me some advice on what you think my chances are of getting in to these schools that I am thinking about</p>
<p>U Florida
Florida State
U Georgia
Arizona State
U Arizona
U Texas-Austin</p>
<p>a lot of these schools have in-state preference, so we need to know what state you are from, hs gpa, etc</p>
<p>i am from New York but go to a private school in florida right now</p>
<p>how did you do in high school?</p>
<p>I did had like a B+ average but i will have 65 credits when done with this semester so i think they will care more about my college grades.</p>
<p>So does that make you a resident of Florida now? If so, I think you'd have a shot at UF and FSU. I don't really know how difficult Arizona schools are to get into. Don't really know much a/b Georgia admissions either. I know UT-Austin still pays attention to residence for transfers so it would be somewhat of a reach with your current GPA.</p>
<p>He's not a Florida resident, actually. That's because he went to get an education which precludes an in-state classification. That is true of any state in the US.</p>
<p>People mistakenly think that by attending a school in a state makes them eligible for reduced tuition, but it does not, uless your parents moved with you.</p>
<p>You're good for:</p>
<p>Florida State
UGeorgia
Arizona State
UArizona</p>
<p>Iffy at:
UFlorida
UTexas</p>

I believe this is generally true, but not always true. I believe there actually are some states where you can gain residency after moving there only for education, in certain circumstances. As well, just because your parents move with you does not automatically make it possible to have immediate residency for in-state tuition purposes. There have been knowledgeable posters on this subject on the Parent Forum. So, check each state school individually to see whether/how you can gain residency if you arrive in-state just for the purpose of college education.</p>
<p>But IsleBoy's point is in general a good one.</p>
<p>I don't think that i am a resident becasue i went to a private school in Florida not a state school and i lived on campus</p>
